Behind The Scenes Of &#8220;The Continental&#8221; Sketches<\/p>\n<p>This past Saturday night, the SNL classic episode that aired at 10 PM was the April 8, 2000 episode with Christopher Walken as host and the big sketch from this show was the &#8220;Cowbell&#8221; scene with Will Ferrell. But, whenever Walken hosts, he does a recurring character&#8230;&#8221;The Continental&#8221; which is always shot from the woman&#8217;s Point Of View by a hand held camera.  <\/p>\n<p>Here is &#8220;The Continental&#8221; sketch from February 22, 2003. This special video shows us what the studio audience is seeing as well as the home audience by way of a box insert from the hand held. I don&#8217;t know who the cameraman is, but Wally Feresten is the Q card man. As a matter of fact, Wally&#8217;s company does all the Q cards for NBC&#8217;s live shows both in New York and in LA.   <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNCOFJnpPGs\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNCOFJnpPGs<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Christopher Walken - TheContinental - Making Of\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WNCOFJnpPGs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>The Making Of S*N*L&#8217;s &#8220;The Continental&#8221; &#8211; enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/189359747768249\/posts\/743979358972949\">Source<\/a>  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SNL Classic!
